FBI Director Kash Patel announces the capture of a fugitive mother who fled to India after allegedly murdering her 6-year-old son, marking a major victory for international law enforcement cooperation.
FBI Captures International Fugitive Mother
Cindy Rodriguez Singh was arrested in India and extradited to the United States in August 2025 after spending over two years as a fugitive on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. Singh faces capital murder charges in Texas for the alleged killing of her 6-year-old son, Noel Rodriguez Alvarez, who disappeared in October 2022. FBI Director Kash Patel credited the successful operation to “relentless FBI work and our international partnerships,” highlighting the effectiveness of coordinated law enforcement efforts under the current administration.
Mother’s Suspicious Flight From Texas Authorities
The case unraveled when Texas Department of Family and Protective Services requested a welfare check on Noel in March 2023. Singh told Everman Police that her son was with his biological father in Mexico, but this claim raised immediate suspicions among investigators. Within 48 hours of the welfare check, Singh, her husband, and six other children boarded a flight to India on March 22, 2023. Notably absent from the family’s departure was young Noel, whose whereabouts remained unknown and concerning to authorities.
International Law Enforcement Coordination Delivers Results
The FBI’s Dallas Field Office worked extensively with INTERPOL and Indian authorities to locate and apprehend Singh. An INTERPOL Red Notice was issued in October 2024, followed by Singh’s placement on the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in July 2025 with a $250,000 reward. This methodical approach demonstrates how serious law enforcement agencies treat crimes against children, particularly when suspects attempt to evade justice by fleeing internationally. The successful extradition shows the strength of America’s diplomatic and law enforcement relationships.
Justice System Seeks Answers for Missing Child
Singh now faces capital murder charges in Tarrant County, Texas, though Noel’s remains have never been located. The case underscores the importance of robust child welfare systems and the need for swift action when children go missing. Texas Senator Ted Cruz welcomed Singh’s return, emphasizing that justice will be served for this heinous alleged crime. The prosecution faces the challenge of proving murder without recovering the victim’s body, relying on circumstantial evidence and the suspicious circumstances surrounding Noel’s disappearance and his mother’s immediate flight from the country.
